Dr. Lucas spent the first 25 years of her life participating in the rigorous training of her professional classical ballet career; constantly devoted to this “passionate pursuit of perfection”. This deeply-rooted “pursuit” was, for her, continuously met with injury and a constant fight with the ballet-specific body type. As a result, she retired from her professional dancing career, understood the importance nutrition played in her own athletic performance, and started along her path to becoming an expert in the field of nutrition and wellness. Dr. Lucas earned her Ph.D. in Sports Nutrition and Chronic Disease from Virginia Tech and is also a licensed Registered Dietitian.========================Join Dr. Ashley Lucas On Social:Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/PHDWeightLoss/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/dr_ashleylucas/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashley-lucas-5560b0162/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠========================Disclaimer:The Dr. Ashley Show Podcast is for informational purposes only and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
